The question
How can audio sensing make everyday information more accessible?
The approach
This research direction investigates beamforming-based audio sensing to enhance perception of everyday information. Beamforming uses information across microphones to emphasize signals from particular directions.
The application question concerns which signals should be brought to a person’s attention, and how sensing can become useful information.
My contribution
Investigated beamforming-based audio sensing during my KAIST WIT Lab internship.
A connected question
The broader question links sensing to interpretation: detecting a signal does not by itself explain its meaning to a person.
